The L-Rhamnose Assay Kit for the measurement of L-rhamnose in plant extracts, culture media/supernatants and other materials is a simple, rapid method.

L-Rhamnose occurs naturally in the L-form and is commonly present as a component of the carbohydrate moiety of eukaryotic glycoproteins and in plant cell wall polysaccharides. The most abundant occurrence of L-rhamnose is within the pectic fraction of plant cell wall polysaccharides. L-Rhamnose is commonly used as a non-metabolisable marker along with lactulose for dual-permeability testing in the diagnosis of intestinal diseases such as Crohn’s disease or coeliac disease.

Note for Content: The number of manual tests per kit can be doubled if all volumes are halved.  This can be readily accommodated using the MegaQuant^TM  Wave Spectrophotometer (D-MQWAVE).

Introduction

HiPure Insect DNA Kits provides a simple and rapid solution for total DNA extraction of insect tissue samples. This kit is based on silica gel column purification technology without toxic phenol chloroform extraction and time-consuming alcohol precipitation. The whole extraction process only takes 30 minutes. HiPure Insect DNA Kit can process tissue samples less than 10mg at a time. Hipure Insect DNA 96 kit can process 96 insect tissue samples at a high throughput. The obtained DNA can be directly used in PCR, Southern blot, viral DNA detection and other experiments.

Principles

This product is based on silica column purification. The sample is lysed and digested with lysate and protease, DNA is released into the lysate. Transfer to an adsorption column. Nucleic acid is adsorbed on the membrane, while protein is not adsorbed and is removed with filtration. After washing proteins and other impurities, Nucleic acid was finally eluted with low-salt buffer (10mm Tris, pH9.0, 0.5mm EDTA).

Advantages

• High purity DNA – can be used in sensitive downstream applications such as multiplex and quantitative pcr
• Fast – several samples can be extracted in less than 30 minutes
• Good repeatability – suitable for extracting high-yield DNA from insect tissue samples
• Safe – without phenol chloroform extraction and alcohol precipitation

Storage and Stability

Proteinase K should be stored at 2-8°C upon arrival. However, short-term storage (up to 12 weeks) at room temperature (15-25°C) does not affect their performance. The remaining kit components can be stored at room temperature (15-25°C) and are stable for at least 18 months under these conditions. The entire kit can be stored at 2–8°C, but in thiscase buffers should be redissolved before use. Make sure that all buffers areat room temperature when used.

Description

Brucella abortus is an intracellular, blood-borne parasite. It is a Gram-negative coccobacillus that causes an infectious and contagious disease called Brucellosis. The disease primarily affects cattle but it can also be transmitted to humans from infected animals and consuming their products. The disease can lead to great economic loss especially in the dairy and agricultural industry. The Brucella abortus genome contains two DNA chromosomes in a circular confirmation; the first chromosome is approximately 2.1 Mb and the second chromosome is approximately 1.2Mb. Unusually it does not contain any plasmids or genomic islands that relate to pathogenicity and lacks many other genes that code for common virulence factors including capsules, fimbriae, exotoxins, cytolysins, resistance forms, or antigenic variation. The most common mode of transmission to humans is through the ingestion of unpasteurized milk and cheese products as the bacteria are present in the milk glands of infected female cows. In cattle transmission can also be through ingestion but in addition, the bacteria can persist in the reproductive tracts of males, namely seminal vesicles, ampullae, testicles, and epididymides, allowing sexual transmission. In humans the bacteria enter macrophages by phagocytosis and then live in compartments of vacuolar space along the endoplasmic reticulum. They persist by inhibiting host apoptosis and go onto form chronic disease causing lesions in the liver, spleen, bone marrow and kidneys. In cattle the bacteria additionally infect the trophoblast epithelial cells, which provide nutrition to the embryo. The trophoblast cells eventually lyse, releasing further bacteria into the blood stream of the embryo. The B. abortus cells in the blood stream go on to colonize the placenta and fetus in pregnant female cows, resulting in abortion of the fetus. Abortion can also result from insufficient anti-Brucella activity in the amniotic fluid. In humans, the disease can be either acute or chronic and some of the symptoms include fluctuating fever, chills, sweating, headache, muscle pain and weight loss. Once a person becomes infected they are prescribed a combination of tetracycline and streptomycin for 3-6 weeks. In cattle, additional symptoms include arthritic joints and retained after-birth.
